os_freebsd.cpp: mass updates, provided by Tijl Coosemans
- Remove some unused private fields from some classes (found by Clang)
- In freebsd_scsi_device::scsi_pass_through:
* Make sure this function returns false on error instead of an error
code that gets converted to true.
* Put printing of the "Incoming data" debug info right after the
cam_send_ccb() call and before the error checking to make debugging
easier.
* When copying sense data make sure the fields in the CCB are actually
valid with CAM_AUTOSNS_VALID. Also make sure that the size of the
sense data doesn't overflow max_sense_len. This was the real cause for
the crash in ports/181836.
* Add some debug printing on the sense data.

- C++ Support for QNX Target, already tested for QNX 6.3.2 on x86 and
armle target
- Additional support for Samsung MLC flash drives
- New device type detection algorithm on FreeBSD, not based on filename
- Support for the adaX (ATA on CAM bus) devices on FreeBSD 8.0 and higher
This is an unstable/experimental release of smartmontools. I'm commiting
this update anyway because of the SAT support, which allows this utility
to be used with recent hard disks. No problems experienced so far and no
objections raised on tech-pkg@.
Changes include:
- Many additions to the table of known drives
- SAT (SCSI/ATA Translation) support
- SCSI background scan results log
- smartd -W directive for temperature tracking and warning
- smartctl -n option to check power state
- improved smartd power state logging
- CCISS support under Linux
- HighPoint RocketRAID support under Linux
- 3ware RAID support under Windows
- SPT interface for SCSI devices under Windows
- ATA selective self test under Windows XP/2003
- NSIS installer support for Windows version
- Started move from C to C++
- Various other improvements
And always is defined as share/examples/rc.d
which was the default before.
This rc.d scripts are not automatically added to PLISTs now also.
So add to each corresponding PLIST as required.
This was discussed on tech-pkg in late January and late April.
Todo: remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR uses in MESSAGES and elsewhere
and remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR itself.
<shattered at users.sourceforge.net> with some minor changes by me.
The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl
and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (SMART)
built into most modern ATA and SCSI hard disks. In many cases,
these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation
and failure.
This closes PR pkg/25616.
